This interesting concept this series is the same people re-set in a series of disasters. Ash is the first and it starts with "the big one," a nuclear bomb.
We first meet our characters; a group of college students, some criminals living homeless in tents on the beach, a survival collective that started in 1948, and a fry cook with his dog, as they experience this catastrophe. From the fiery bomb to the gray, ash cloud and the world that descends after. This story explores the psychological aspects of what a disaster will do to your moral compass. How when the niceties of our civilized world are pulled down we really have a chance to see what we are capable of when every day is the worst day ever.
